  • The three-pillar framework most hiring teams get wrong
  • Sample questions mapped to Experience, Salesmanship, and Traits
  • Six derailers that interview well and fail in the first 60 days
  • How to assess AI tool literacy — without asking "do you use AI?"
  • A 4-stage, 3-week process structure and full scorecard
  • Realistic ANZ ramp milestones — not the US model

"The failure almost always lives in the third column. Traits. Characteristics. Values. That's the one most teams assess last — if at all."
